Is walking around a fake bathroom really “immersive” theatre, or is a theme park the more honest art form?Ben sits down with Simon Kane, writer and performer whose work spans Shunt's devised theatre, BBC radio comedy (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme), and a lockdown project performing Shakespeare chronologically on YouTube. Simon unpacks what “immersive” should actually mean, why a seated audience isn't a passive audience, and why “fun” is a serious artistic standard.“If you're making a space from scratch, why make a space that already exists?”We also riff on Richard II as a story of celebrity collapse, the strange distance of voice work compared to stage acting, and how to stay creatively intentional when algorithms would rather you just hit Next.Transcript: https://www.thendobetter.com/arts/2026/2/14/simon-kane-performing-shakespeare-on-youtube-immersive-theatre-and-why-fun-mattersWe cover:Story-first acting: unlocking Richard II by changing the characterDevised vs scripted: how Shunt builds worlds, and what audio comedy demands insteadThe “immersive” fallacy: when you're just walking around a setClowning, refusal, and the myth you must always say yesEscaping autoplay: consuming culture on purpose

In this episode, I take you along for one unforgettable day in Bhutan that perfectly captures the country's culture, spirituality, and everyday life.The day begins dressed in a traditional gho before heading high into the Himalayas for the Druk Wangyel Festival at Dochula Pass. With clear skies, snow-capped peaks in the background, and vibrant performances by the Royal Bhutan Army, this festival is one of Bhutan's most visually striking and patriotic celebrations.After the festival, we descend into the Punakha Valley, stopping for lunch before setting off on a walk through authentic Bhutanese countryside. This walk takes us through Sopsokha Village and Teopronghu Village, passing rice paddies, prayer flags, family homes, and locals going about their daily lives — offering a real glimpse into rural Bhutan away from the usual tourist trail.Check out my previous Bhutan episodesEpisode 1 Interview with Ugyen Rinzin - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000743770563Episode 2 - IMMERSIVE Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000744754502Episode 3 - Days 1-3 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000745691316Episode 4 - Interview with a female monk - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000747763604

Virtuix CEO Jan Goetgeluk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to highlight the company's integration of AI-driven Gaussian splatting technology into its Virtual Terrain Walk (VTW) system, significantly enhancing its training and simulation capabilities for defense and security applications. Gaussian splatting is an advanced 3D reconstruction technique that rapidly converts real-world environments captured with 360-degree cameras into highly detailed, photorealistic, and fully navigable virtual worlds. Goetgeluk explained that VTW is a multi-user immersive training platform purpose-built for simulations where realism, spatial awareness, and physical movement are critical to operational readiness. By combining Gaussian splatting with Virtuix's omni-directional treadmill technology, VTW enables soldiers to physically walk, run, turn, and crouch in 360 degrees within geo-specific virtual environments. This allows military personnel to “walk the battlefield before they fight on it,” improving mission planning, rehearsal, and situational awareness in complex combat scenarios. The system supports collaborative training across more than 12 stations, either co-located or distributed across different geographic locations, enabling multi-user mission planning and leader rehearsals. Trainers can dynamically modify environmental conditions, introduce adversary forces, and adjust scenario variables in real time to simulate realistic and evolving battlefield conditions. Virtuix also noted early adoption of its technology within defense organizations. Omni One test units have already been purchased by Yokota Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, underscoring growing institutional interest in immersive, physically active virtual training solutions. Beyond defense applications, Virtuix sees significant commercial opportunities for its VTW and Gaussian splatting capabilities across industrial and safety training, real estate visualization, and law enforcement. The company believes these markets can benefit from the same high-fidelity, location-based simulation and physically immersive experiences that are redefining how defense organizations prepare personnel for real-world operations. #proactiveinvestors #virtuix #nasdaq #VTIX #Virtuix #VTIX #NasdaqDebut #VirtualTerrainWalk #GaussianSplatting #DefenseTech #MilitaryTraining #SimulationTechnology #ImmersiveTraining #VRTraining #SpatialComputing #AI3D #SecurityTechnology #OmniTreadmill #DigitalTwins #ExtendedReality

Two weeks before his 40th birthday, Jeff Cummins contracted shingles - and it took most of the hearing in his right ear. With young daughters at home whose voices he could no longer hear, he became a hearing aid user. A decade later, that experience led him to co-found a company changing how hearing aids are sold.In this episode, Jeff Cummins joins us to share how Immersive Hearing Technologies is using VR to let patients experience hearing aids in real-world environments before they buy - replacing the brochures and guesswork that have defined the industry for decades.The conversation traces Jeff's 25-year career through startups (including scaling Keys Express from $15M to $70M in revenue), a near-miss with NIH-funded cardiac technology, and the path to landing a deal with Sonova - the world's largest hearing aid manufacturer - now deploying Immersive's system across Western Europe. Jeff also shares hard-won lessons on positioning pain over innovation and why Kentucky's startup resources are among the best in the country for early-stage founders.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by:KY Innovation → kyinnovation.comAwesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

What really happens inside an organization when a cyber incident hits and the neat incident response plan starts to fall apart? That question sat at the heart of my return conversation with Max Vetter, VP of Cyber at Immersive. It has been a big year for breaches, public fallout, and eye-watering financial losses, and this episode goes beyond headlines to examine what cyber crisis management actually looks like when pressure, uncertainty, and human behavior collide. Max brings a rare perspective shaped by years in law enforcement, intelligence work, and hands-on cyber defense, and he is refreshingly honest about where most organizations are still unprepared. We talked about why written incident response plans tend to fail at the exact moment they are needed most. Cyber incidents are chaotic, emotional, and non-linear, yet many plans assume calm decision-making and perfect coordination. Max explains why success or failure is often defined by the response rather than the initial breach itself, and why leadership, communication, and judgment matter just as much as technical skill. Real-world examples from major incidents highlight how competing pressures quickly emerge, whether to contain or keep systems running, whether to pay a ransom or risk prolonged downtime, and how every option comes with consequences. One idea that really stood out is Max's belief that resilience is revealed, not documented. Compliance and audits may tick boxes, but they rarely expose how teams behave under stress. We explored why organizations that rely on annual tabletop exercises often develop a false sense of confidence, and how that confidence can become dangerous when decisions are made quickly and publicly. Max shared why the best-performing teams are often the ones that feel less certain in the moment, because they question assumptions and adapt faster. We also dug into the growing role of crisis simulations and micro-drills. Rather than rehearsing a single scenario once a year, Immersive focuses on repeated, realistic practice that builds muscle memory across technical teams, executives, legal, and communications. The goal is not to predict the exact attack, but to train people to think clearly, collaborate across functions, and make defensible decisions when there are no good options. That preparation becomes even more important as cyber incidents increasingly spill into supply chains, manufacturing, and the physical world. As public scrutiny rises and consumer-led legal action becomes more common after breaches, reputation and response speed now sit alongside forensics and recovery as business-critical concerns. This episode is a candid look at why cyber crisis readiness is a discipline, not a document, and why assuming you will cope when the moment arrives is a risky bet. So if resilience only truly shows itself when everything is on the line, how confident are you that your organization would perform when the pressure is real and the clock is ticking?

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Everyday beauty, captured outdoorsPainter Adam Swanson of Cloquet recommends seeing the work of painter Matt Kania at Duluth Pottery, on view now through February. The exhibit “From There to Here” features Kania's plein air paintings. There is an artist reception tonight from 5 to 7 p.m.Swanson says Kania is a prolific artist who takes the time to notice — and paint — both landscapes and scenes of everyday life.Dance meets scienceRachel Doran is co-director of Hothouse, a dance arts space in Northeast Minneapolis. She can't wait to see Black Label Movement's show “Rules of Life,” which combines dance with findings from cancer research.Performances are Jan. 16 and 17 — Friday at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday at 2 and 7:30 p.m. — at the Barbara Barker Center for Dance in Minneapolis. Please note: this 45-minute show seats audience members in pods for an immersive and up-close experience of the dance; no late-comers will be seated.Rachel says: Black Label Movement, a local contemporary dance company helmed by Carl Flink. They are premiering a new work, “Rules of Life,” on Jan. 16-17, which has been in development for years, through Carl's collaboration with cancer researchers David Odde and Paolo Provenzano. BL's work is physical-to-the-max, impressively so, pushing limits of what the dancing body can do, and what dancers can do together. I can't wait to see this culmination of research and output come together on stage.— Rachel DoranA fusion of West African and Celtic musicSpoken word artist Ibrahima Kaba, known as IBé, of Robbinsdale loves the West African–Celtic blend of the musical group Canadh Croí, which means “singing of the heart” in Irish Gaelic and is pronounced “Conna Cree,” just like Conakry, the capital of Guinea (and hometown of drummers Fodé and Sana Bangoura).The Twin Cities group combines West African rhythms with Irish and Scottish melodies. Their debut album is called “Badenya,” which is Mandinka for a family relationship that encompasses extended family. There is an album release concert Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Celtic Junction Art Center in St. Paul.Ibrahima says: There is something nostalgic about the sound, how it both transport and transfixes. It both reminds me of the Guinean ceremonies and celebrations, and the feeling I get when I see pictures and videos of the Irish countryside. I think a blending of music tradition gives a result that's truly more than the sum of its parts. When I listen to Canadh Croí, they don't only take me to Guinea and the Ireland I imagine, but also a place totally different, new and refreshing, a place that I believe is as American as the Statue of Liberty. This is especially important to remember and celebrate in today's immigration climate, that one of the amazing and beautiful things about America is the opportunity it gives to bring together seemingly different cultures, to create something new, fresh and totally wonderful.— Ibrahima Kaba (IBé)

When scenes move faster than structures can hold, what makes an independent dance label a twenty-year outlier?Co-founder of Mobilee Records, Ralf Kollmann reflects on two decades at the heart of electronic music, navigating seismic shifts in technology, culture, and the economics of independent labels. Recorded in Berlin during Mobilee's 20th anniversary year, this conversation traces a long view from the dancefloor, from collective beginnings with Anja Schneider, and genre-fluid curation, to the pressures facing labels and artists today.With characteristic honesty, Ralf explores what has changed, what has endured, and why patience, timing, and restraint have become radical tools in an industry increasingly driven by volume, visibility, and constant output. It's a conversation about longevity over momentum, intuition over noise, and building structures that can survive more than a moment.“Survival isn't about chasing trends. It's about knowing when to move, and when to pause.” - Ralf KollmannJoin us as we explore:✅ What it takes to sustain an independent label across 20 years✅ Why collectives form, evolve, and sometimes dissolve✅ Timing, trust, and the human side of A&R decisions✅ The pressure of constant output in the streaming era✅ Revisiting the catalogue over chasing the next release✅ Immersive audio, Dolby Atmos, and the question of adoption➤ Follow us at:⁠Instagram:⁠⁠ @missionmakers⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠ @dj.n1nja⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠ @dj_n1nja⁠⁠Soundcloud:⁠⁠ @dj-ninja⁠➤ Credits:Music: Mission Makers - N1NJA (Unreleased)Producer: Farah Nanji➤ For show notes + more on our host visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mission-makers.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.dj-ninja.com/⁠⁠

SmashSwing Immersive Golf is a next-generation golf entertainment and simulation system that blends sports, gaming, and social play into an immersive experience. Unlike traditional single-player simulators, SmashSwing offers large-format, multiplayer environments where multiple players can hit at the same time into giant projected screens with dynamic, interactive content for golfers and non-golfers alike. On this episode of The Wednesday Match Play Podcast, brought to you by Eden Mill St Andrews, we dive into TJ's vision for SmashSwing and the technology powering it, along with their growth plans for the new year. TJ also compares SmashSwing to other golf entertainment venues like Topgolf. We get into the details club leaders really want to know, including what the hitting surface feels like, the size of the screens, what it costs to bring SmashSwing to your club, and what the installation process looks like from start to finish. This was an eye-opening conversation, and I'm honored to have TJ on the show. Let's tee off.

What if the friction stopping crypto adoption is the same fear that kept 62% of US adults from making their first online purchase until the pandemic forced them? From Bitcoin at $2 to NFTs that people still don't understand, the pattern repeats: revolutionary technology stumbles not on innovation, but on trust and usability.This encore episode (originally published in April 2024 and our #1 most downloaded episode of the year) brings back Jean-Louis Hé, Director of Digital and E-Commerce at Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they reflect on how quickly technology moves, blockchain was the emerging tech buzz in 2024, now AI dominates every conversation.Jean-Louis shares his journey from wanting to be an architect to shaping digital experiences, explaining how his family's Chinese restaurant in Paris taught him the importance of human connection that now informs his work bridging physical retail with digital innovation. He reveals YSL's Web3 experiments with Beauty Blocks NFTs designed to transform one-way brand communication into participatory community building, drawing parallels to Nike's success letting customers co-design shoes. We tackle the massive friction barriers in crypto (MetaMask wallets, scam airdrops, ledger codes, obscure coin exchanges), explore why connected mirrors and QR codes still matter in stores, and examine how gaming revolutionized technology infrastructure that business now benefits from. Jean-Louis argues the biggest misconception about frictionless digital experiences is thinking you only need to optimize the digital interface, when the real work is crafting a cohesive story across the entire consumer journey.Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for the complete journey, not just digital touchpoints - A beautiful website won't succeed if it's disconnected from physical stores, marketplace channels, and brand values across the customer experienceBuild two-way participation instead of one-way communication - Enable consumers to co-create through challenges, exclusive access, and design input rather than passively consuming brand messagesRecognize adoption friction mirrors historical technology fears - The same resistance to online credit cards 15 years ago now appears with crypto wallets; reduce friction by simplifying onboarding and building trust through educationWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookJean-Louis's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanlouishe/ Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuckmoxley/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) Blockchain vs AI adoption(02:30) Jean-Louis's origin story(06:00) Architecture meets UX(08:00) PowerPoint wireframes era(10:00) Growing up in analog retail(11:30) Connected retail tools(13:00) McDonald's efficiency principles(14:00) Digital apron concept(15:00) Selling fragrance online(16:00) Brain signal scent tech(18:00) Beyond screen interfaces(19:30) Crypto and NFT curiosity(21:00) Web3 and user control(23:47) Bitcoin at $2 regrets(26:00) YSL Beauty Blocks launch(27:00) Nike's community building(29:00) Crypto wallet friction(31:30) Early e-commerce parallels(32:00) Buying obscure coins(34:00) Twitter crypto scams(35:30) Pandemic online shopping(37:45) Biggest misconception(40:00) Human connection matters(41:00) The phygital world(42:00) Immersive web evolution(44:00) Gaming drives innovation(45:30) Roblox brand strategy(47:00) Digital ownership economics(48:00) Conclusion

IMMERSIVE – Bhutan Series w/ Breathe Bhutan – Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) EPICIn this immersive, audio-only episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I take you with me as I hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery (Paro Taktsang) in Bhutan — one of the most iconic and spiritual hikes in the world.This episode starts early in the morning in Paro, with pre-hike nerves, breakfast, and my first distant glimpse of Tiger's Nest clinging to the mountainside. From there, we journey to the trailhead and begin the steady uphill climb through pine forests, open valleys, and sweeping mountain views.As I hike, I share real-time reactions, heavy breathing, and honest reflections as the monastery slowly reveals itself through the trees. About halfway up, I stop at the famous café for a much-needed coffee — and the first truly jaw-dropping view of Tiger's Nest sitting impossibly in the distance, tucked into the mountains.From there, the trail continues toward the most iconic viewpoints on the hike, where the scale of the monastery really sinks in. I take you to the famous photo spots before descending hundreds of steps, crossing bridges and waterfalls, and finally entering the temple itself.Inside Tiger's Nest, there are no cameras — only flickering butter lamps, chanting monks, incense in the air, and a deep sense of stillness. I reflect on what it felt like to experience the monastery without distractions, and why this hike is considered one of the most unforgettable experiences in Bhutan.The episode finishes with the walk back down to the parking lot, lunch in Paro, practical hiking tips, and reflections on why Tiger's Nest isn't just something you visit — it's something you feel.This episode is part of my Bhutan Series, recorded while travelling with Breathe Bhutan, a locally owned tour company creating immersive, meaningful journeys across Bhutan.If you've ever wondered what it's really like to hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery, this episode is for you.

Immersive audio is one of the most talked-about trends in church sound—but what does it actually mean?In this conversation, Justin and Luke Vogel unpack immersive audio in practical terms, breaking down the two core technologies behind it: object-based mixing (spatial audio) and active/virtual acoustics. We explain how immersive systems differ from traditional stereo and LCR PA designs, why they don't cost “500x more,” and how they can dramatically improve clarity, consistency, and musicality—especially for volunteer mixing teams.You'll learn why immersive audio feels like the next evolution after mono, stereo, and line arrays, how placing sources in 3D space reduces EQ conflicts, and why immersive systems are becoming more accessible for churches than ever before. If you've heard immersive is “only for Broadway or mega-venues,” this episode will reset the narrative.Email: Justin@enhanceavl.comjordan@enhanceavl.comhttps://www.enhanceavl.com/

In this episode of Half Hour, we unpack Masquerade, the immersive revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera now running in New York City. We break down the concept of the experience, how the story is structured and guided through multiple spaces, and the way the production uses intimacy to bring audiences inside the Paris Opera House. We discuss the interaction between cast and audience, from guided movement through the building to moments of direct engagement with performers, as well as the sound, orchestrations, and how the familiar score lands in this new format. We also examine Diane Paulus's direction, the scenic and lighting design by Scott Pask and Ben Stanton, Emilio Sosa's costumes, and the special effects that define this large-scale immersive environment. The conversation highlights individual performances by company members such as Clay Singer, Riley Noland, Betsy Morgan, Francisco Javier González, and Tia Karaplis, while reflecting on our experience navigating the show and what this staging suggests about the production's future.  Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
